INCIDENT: We are currently monitoring an unidentified flying sleigh entering NATO airspace. The track originates from the North Pole and is flying an erratic path🎅  No NATO jets have been scrambled.

Our EDs are still swimming in influenza. It is now making its way through adult and geriatric populations. Its making some pediatric and geriatric patients sick enough to require admission. Literally 100% of my swabs are coming back positive for patients I believe are viral...

RETWEET to wish Dr. Fauci a Happy 85th Birthday!

my 8 year old son made me a tiny cushion with a line graph on it for Christmas. I love it

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

From the quiet corner📚☕️

"They found the coats on Thursday morning. Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary. No note. No explanation. Just coats, zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies. Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police.

Julia Davis Luke Zaleski I don't know how many more smoking guns we need. The guy is a degenerate pedophile. Full stop. We don't need to see the videos that Putin has. Anyone who can't see it clearly is in total denial & DOESN'T WANT to see it, or just believes child rape is OK.

We are seeing huge amounts of illness that is off the chart. Flu, COVID and RSV. WEAR A FUCKING MASK IN PUBLIC.

Subclade K is a beast. We have not seen anything like it in years. We can speculate that immune dysfunction from repeat COVID infections has led to this variant however that is too early to say; but it is the perfect time to say wear a N95 or better mask in public and get jabbed.

I believe this simple but profound truth

Arriving for my ahift today 28 out of 29 high acuity beds in the ED were occupied by admitted patients. There are no inpatient beds to transfer them to. This means emergency patients wait longer. Bad outcomes can result. We need more inpatient capacity. Period.

For those contemplating a detox or cleanse in the new year, here’s a toxicologist’s explanation of how they work: They don't.

Stellar list of responses to the question of why we are still masking!

Today I learned that pockets in dresses were phased out so women could prove they were not witches and carrying ill intentions and spells. This is why women love pockets in skirts and dresses now. We carry our spells and curses without purses and you won't see us coming.

We wiped out a whole strain of flu wearing crappy masks, imagine what we could do if we all committed to wearing n95, kn95, or kf94 masks??? #MaskUp #ConnectTheDots #CleanTheAir

To everyone out there holding the line, Thank you. I know it’s hard. You are not alone, even when you’re one of two. Your courage matters, and so do you. Wishing you the very best in 2026 - Kathryn

Reading Run, Zohran, Run! To start the year :)
